Mei Changsu seemed to say these words casually, which made Meng Zhi sit and think for a long time. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that the fact of "partisan struggle" was chilling in his heart. Then he looked at Lin Shu's slightly lowered pale forehead. , the chest can not help but mixed flavors.
Can the once amazing Young Marshal Chi Yan only be able to use his rare talents for these things
"Brother Meng, you don't have to worry about me," Mei Changsu raised his head slightly, as if he wanted to look at the void through the roof, "They are all looking at me from the sky, I have to go down."
"I understand." Meng Zhi nodded heavily, "but you have to remember that everything should be based on your own safety, and if you have any use for me, you must come and call me."
Mei Changsu couldn't help but smile, "When have I ever been polite to you?"
"That's hard to say. You're thinking too much now, and no one can figure out what you think." Meng Zhi glared at him dissatisfiedly, "Why didn't you ask me to accompany you when you went to Prince Jing's mansion last time?"
"Do you want to back me up and slay those reckless men in Yizhen?" Mei Changsu laughed, "That's right, they are all people who are hard-hearted and not soft-hearted, and respect heroes and heroes. Everyone respects me, and no one dares to underestimate me."
"Why don't you talk about it! If you go alone, you are still a villain there. Prince Jing's mansion will be a place for you to live and live in the future. How can you offend people as soon as you go?"
"Don't worry, the smarter people in Prince Jing's manor will only be grateful to me, and will not hold me against me. Those who will be dissatisfied with me are all reckless men with limbs and no brains. I don't want to care about such people for the time being. I will deliver them someday. I'll train again. You forget, it's what I'm best at dealing with these fighting generals."
Meng Zhi thought for a while, and couldn't help but smile: "That's true."
"...By the way, I've been meaning to ask you for a while now, what is the reaction of the rest of the Prince Mu Mansion except that Prince Mu is gnashing his teeth?"
"Of course they are all angry. Your Majesty only sent an internal history to explain verbally, telling the county master not to worry, it seems to mean that as long as the county master is slightly dissatisfied, it is like a minister suspecting the monarch. Meng Zhi said, his face was a little hesitant, "Your Majesty, who did you listen to, and is so arrogant to the hero?"
"How is the princess?"
"The county owner is very safe, and there is no trace of anger."
Mei Changsu sighed softly: "Nihuang has been a handsome man for many years, and I think I have seen it through. People who hold military power think you are useless when you don't have credit. No matter how much more, there are no more than the endless ways of checks and balances of the lord. Now the southern border is still peaceful, when will the emperor not take this opportunity to show the imperial power and monarchy?”
"But Mu Xiaowang couldn't hold his breath and said that he would submit a request to go back to Yunnan."
"The emperor won't approve." Mei Changsu shook his head, "Not to mention the fact that the New Year is approaching, and rushing to leave at this time seems to be resentful to the emperor, and it's just arousing suspicion. Go and persuade Mu Qing, Even if he wants to resign, at least he will leave after the Qingming Festival next year."
"Why is this kid willing to listen to me? Besides, should I persuade Princess Nihuang about this matter?"
Mei Changsu's eyes condensed for a while, his eyes turned dark and deep, he was stunned for a long time before slowly nodding, and said in a low voice: "That's what you said. Then I'll write a letter, please bring it to Nihuang. She She is a sensible and intelligent woman, and she understands at a glance.”
He said and stood up and patted Feiliu's arm: "Brother Su wants to write, how about Feiliu grinding ink?"
"Okay!" Fei Liu jumped up, ran to the desk, picked up the ink stick on the inkstone, put it to his mouth and sighed, and quickly began to grind it. He is very strong, and his grinding frequency is fast, and he will grind an inkstone full in a short time.
"Enough is enough," Mei Changsu smiled gently at him, "When Brother Su finishes writing, you can paint, okay?"
"it is good!"
Mei Changsu took out a few pages of snow-white letterhead paper from the pile of books beside the table, picked up the pen and dipped the ink, and pondered for a while, but he swayed and wrote two pages full. , but did not seal it, and handed it directly to Meng Zhi.
"Aren't you afraid of me peeking?" Meng Zhi didn't answer, but smiled, "Didn't you write any love words?"
Mei Changsu lowered his head and said expressionlessly: "Brother Meng, don't start this kind of joke again. The county master and I are like brothers and sisters in distress, and the unnecessary involvement is gone."
Meng Zhi was stunned, "Why do you say that? I know how difficult your future is now, and there are too many things to do, so I don't want to tell her your true identity for the time being, but in the future... you will say it one day... "
"Who knows how far this future is?" Mei Changsu picked up the pen again and unconsciously wrote a row of wild cursive on the letter paper. Before he was finished, he reached out and grabbed it, and threw it into a ball next to him. The brazier closed his eyes, "If life is just like the first time... that's impossible, some things happen in this world that no one can predict, and there's no way to control them, all I can do is try to do my best. Let it have a good ending, even if I don't exist in this ending..."
"Xiaoshu," Meng Zhi grabbed his arm in surprise, "you mean..."
"Brother Meng, you should also think about Nihuang. I have missed her for so many years, and I can't continue to make mistakes. If I ever thought about trying my best to get back to her, then starting from two years ago, this Such thoughts are gone." Mei Changsu clenched Mengzhi's hand tightly, and a thin and sincere smile appeared on his lips, "My existence has not brought her happiness before, at least in the future. Don't be her misfortune either. I'm happy to be able to do that..."
"But..." Meng Zhi's face wrinkled, "This is so unfair to you!"
"Where in the world can there be anything that is absolutely fair? To say it is unfair, it is also the injustice of fate, it is the miss of fate, and it is not Nihuang's responsibility in any case."
Meng Zhi stared straight at him for a long time, stomped his feet, and said "oh": "I can't get in on your own business, so you can do whatever you want."
Mei Changsu smiled and shoved the letter into his hand, "Okay, deliver the letter for me, don't say a lot of other words, if you have to talk more, I will be angry."
"Yes, young marshal. I'll learn Feiliu and say two words!"
"No!" Fei Liu shouted loudly.
"Look, Fei Liu is not allowed," Mei Changsu rubbed the boy's hair with a smile, "Well said, he is not allowed to learn!"
"You," Meng Zhi sighed, "you can still laugh."
"What if you don't laugh? Do you want to see me cry?" Mei Changsu glanced at him with frowning eyes, then pulled out a piece of paper from the side, and wrote quickly, but this time in small letters.
"What are you doing? Didn't you finish writing it just now?"
"There is still ink left, I will write a letter to King Yu by the way."
"what?!"
"You don't have to be so surprised, right?" Mei Changsu straightened up and tilted his head to look at him, "Don't you know that I have already taken refuge with King Yu to some extent?"
"I know that you offended the prince prematurely for Nihuang's sake, so of course you can only pretend to be with King Yu... But, what are you going to write?"
"I think Chen Lao Shangshu can retire and rest, so I'm going to leave this matter to King Yu."
Meng Zhi blinked: "King Yu has listened to you so much now? He will do whatever you tell him to do?"
"That's not the case," Mei Changsu laughed, "I'm not giving instructions, I'm offering advice."
"Advice?"
"Yeah, Prince Yu must be jumping with anger over the resettlement of Concubine Yue. I don't know how much I want to fight back, but I just can't find a breakthrough for the counterattack for a while. I put Chen Yuancheng's flaws in his hands and let him It’s okay if he vents his anger.” Mei Changsu’s indifferent expression was mixed with a hint of gloom, as he said, he kept writing, “The queen has no children and fell out of favor, and the more noble concubine is more noble, the two of them have been in the harem a lot over the years. Occasions are almost always on an equal footing, so everyone generally lacks the awareness of respecting the heirs. What's more, the rituals are complicated, and how to understand the Queen and King Yu is not sure, and I never thought that there would be any articles to do. So you can let the reputation Wang Xianli invited several Confucian scholars to have a debate in the court. These people have weight in their words. Once the position of the concubines and concubines in the sacrificial ceremony is clear, the Ministry of Rites has suffered major deficiencies in the past few years. Of course, Chen Yuancheng had to resign. , Xie Yu has one less helper, the concubine Yue has more restrictions after the resettlement, the queen's position is more respected, and the arrogance of the prince who has just recovered a little can be reduced a little..."
"Isn't that... all the benefits of King Yu? Are you really doing your best for him?"
Mei Changsu sneered: "How can there be a business in the world that is only profitable but not lost? King Yu's losses are all invisible and incomprehensible."
Meng Zhi tried to think for a while, but gave up after thinking for a long time, "Where are you referring to?"
"Your Majesty the Emperor's heart."
"Um?"
"Respecting the concubine and suppressing the descendant, the first one is your majesty. Because he doted on the concubine Yue, he did not give enough respect to the queen in the harem for many years, which caused everyone to have a wrong mindset, thinking that the concubine Yue had a prince because of the prince. Son, so he is as honorable as the queen. When King Yu came forward in this dispute, what he revealed was not only the fault of the Ministry of Rites, but also the shortcomings of His Majesty, but he stood firm in the word of etiquette, and His Majesty would not reveal it. What, maybe he will praise him a few times. But deep down, His Majesty will not be happy, and it is even very likely that in a certain period of time, because of the contrary, the Queen will be even more indifferent. I will not talk about this loss, See if King Yu can see it himself."
Meng Zhi said thoughtfully: "There are a lot of talented people around King Yu, maybe someone can detect it."
"It's nothing to notice, King Yu will still do this."
"why?"
"Because the benefits greatly outweigh the disadvantages," Mei Changsu had already finished writing the letter and was blowing softly, "The loss is just His Majesty's displeasure, and this can be repaired slowly. But as long as this debate is won , will greatly respect the queen, suppress the concubine Yue, and more importantly, King Yu can use this to emphasize to the courtiers something that everyone is gradually neglecting: that is, the prince is also born from a concubine, and in this position, he follows Yu The king is the same, his status is more noble now because he received the title of the East Palace, not because of his background. If the emperor wants to withdraw his title and change the title to another person in the future, we don't need to make a fuss. Now, because the crown prince is not the heir apparent, he is not so untouchable and untouchable..."
"In that case, the one who benefits is still King Yu..."
"Is it only King Yu?" Mei Changsu turned his head and his eyes brightened, "Isn't it the same with King Jing? Since everyone is a succubus, no one should say who's background is low in the future. Prince, Prince Yu, Prince Jing, There are other princes, everyone is equal, even if there is a difference, the difference is not harmful, and the difference between the concubines and the concubines is not of the same nature, and there is no need to talk about it."
"That's right!" Meng Zhi gave a high five, "Why didn't I think that when Prince Yu pulled the prince down with one hand, he was pulling Prince Jing up in the same way, because he emphasized that the distinction between direct descendants and concubines is insurmountable. Yes, and for the concubine and the concubine, the origin is not the most important factor, although this applies to him, it also applies to King Jing!"
"It's good to understand." Mei Changsu smiled and sealed the letter tightly this time, "Fei Liu, would you like to accompany Uncle Li out of the door to deliver the letter?"
Meng Zhi glanced at Fei Liu, "You asked them to deliver?"
"Li Gang is good at speaking, and Fei Liu is escorting them. Running errands and delivering letters is overkill for the two of them." Mei Changsu put the envelope in Fei Liu's hands without hesitation, and his eyes flashed leisurely, "King Yu, It's up to him next..."
